Abstract: The invention is a method for producing a tool which can be used to create optically active surface structures in the sub-mum range, having a support surface onto which relief surface structures are applied over the support surface by means of material deposition. The invention is distinguished by the support surface being directly contacted with a mask in which openings with diameters in the sub-mum range are provided or can be provided, by the support surface including the mask being subjected to a coating process in which the coating material deposits through the openings of the mask onto the support surface, and the mask is removed from the support surface when a partial amount of an average end structure height of the surface structures is reached and the coating procedure is then continued without the mask using the same coating material or different coating materials.

Filed: 2001-08-15
Granted: 2006-01-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a differential complementary amplifier that comprises two MOSFET amplifier branches (1, 2). According to the invention, the second amplifier branch (2) is operated in the opposite sense relative to the first amplifier branch (1). The outputs of the two amplifier branches (1, 2) form a differential output and are interlinked in a node (A) via a load resistor (R1, R2). The operating point of the two amplifier branches (1, 2) is adjusted via the voltage applied to said node (A). The invention provides a fully differential, highly symmetrical amplifier circuit in which both amplifier branches are used as amplifiers and a signal is derived from said amplifier branches to stabilize the operating point.

Abstract: The invention relates to a valve that comprises at least one pump connection (10), one tank connection (14) and one consumer connection (18), and a valve piston (22) that is displaced within the valve box (12). Said valve piston separates the pump connection (10) from the tank connection (14) in at least one blocked position and interacts with an energy accumulator (24). A fluid stream that flows between the consumer connection (18) and the tank connection (14) is controlled by means of a control device (26). The control device (26) is configured as a fluid stream control that is integrated in the valve piston (22) and that allows, contrary to known valves which use a diaphragm construction, reduction, by a constant value, of the volume flow to the consumer in a load-independent manner, thereby allowing for a proportional load-independent control.

Abstract: Porous members can be positioned so as to partially or fully span channels in microfluidic systems. The porous members can be assembled and/or disassembled in situ. The porous members can be made such that pores are separated by connections including but a single molecule at one location, allowing for a high level of open area in a very small pore size member. The porous member can be made up of colloid particles interconnected with molecular species. These can be used to detect analytes qualitatively and/or quantitatively, or to selectively bind and/or release agents on command for a variety of purposes including first blocking, then opening a channel, concentrating analyte over time followed by release of analyte and detection downstream, etc. Porous members can define valves in multiple-channel systems and, with controlled binding and release of agents at the porous members, these valves can be opened and closed and fluid flow controlled in a multi-channel system. Fluidic systems of the invention can include multiple sensing locations at which different analytes are determined. Systems of the invention provide flexibility for overall microchemical analysis, sequentially, of a variety of agents.
